The mamachari is a single-speed groceries shopping bicycle that costs less than $100 in second hand bike stores, and even some new models. They are carrying people in all the Japanese cities, to the university, to the supermarket, to the izakaya (and sometimes back home too), they get lost, stolen, taken by the police if parked in the wrong place at the wrong time … but they can also do much more, like 200 km in a day.
